45:1

Φιλόνεικοι ἔστε, ἀδελφοί, καὶ ζηλωταὶ περὶ τῶν ἀνηκόντων εἰς σωτηρίαν

Be contentious, brothers, and zealous concerning the things that pertain to salvation.

弟兄們，你們要在關乎救恩的事上力求，並要熱心。

45:2

ἐγκεκύφατε εἰς τὰς ἱερὰς γραφάς, τὰς ἀληθεῖς, τὰς διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου

You have searched into the holy Scriptures, the true ones, those given through the Holy Spirit.

你們已查考過那真實的、藉聖靈所賜的聖經。

45:3

ἐπίστασθε, ὅτι οὐδὲν ἄδικον οὐδὲ παραπεποιημένον γέγραπται ἐν αὐταῖς. οὐχ εὑρήσετε δικαίους ἀποβεβλημένους ἀπὸ ὁσίων ἀνδρῶν

You know that nothing unrighteous or counterfeit has been written in them. You will not find that righteous men were cast out by holy men.

你們知道其中所記的，沒有一樣是不義或偽造的。你們找不出義人曾被聖潔的人趕出。

45:4

ἐδιώχθησαν δίκαιοι, ἀλλ̓ ὑπὸ ἀνόμων: ἐφυλακίσθησαν, ἀλλ̓ ὑπὸ ἀνοσίων: ἐλιθάσθησαν ὑπὸ παρανόμων: ἀπεκτάνθησαν ὑπὸ τῶν μιαρὸν καὶ ἄδικον ζῆλον ἀνειληφότων

Righteous men were persecuted, but by the lawless; they were imprisoned, but by the unholy; they were stoned by transgressors; they were slain by those who had taken up an abominable and unrighteous jealousy.

義人曾受逼迫，卻是被不法的人；他們曾被囚禁，卻是被不聖之人；他們曾被犯法的人用石頭打死；他們曾被那些懷著可憎不義之嫉妒的人殺害。

45:5

ταῦτα πάσχοντες εὐκλεῶς ἤνεγκαν

Suffering these things, they bore them gloriously.

他們受了這些苦，卻榮耀地擔當了。

45:6

τί γὰρ εἴπωμεν, ἀδελφοί; Δανιὴλ ὑπὸ τῶν φοβουμένων τὸν θεὸν ἐβλήθη εἰς λάκκον λεόντων

For what shall we say, brothers? Was Daniel cast into the den of lions by those who feared God?

弟兄們，我們怎麼說呢？但以理豈是被敬畏神的人扔在獅子坑裡的麼？

45:7

ἢ Ἀνανίας καὶ Ἀζαρίας καὶ Μισαὴλ ὑπὸ τῶν θρησκευόντων τὴν μεγαλοπρεπῆ καὶ ἔνδοξον θρησκείαν τοῦ ὑψίστου κατείρχθησαν εἰς κάμινον πυρός; μηθαμῶς τοῦτο γένοιτο. τίνες οὖν οἱ ταῦτα δράσαντες; οἱ στυγητοὶ καὶ πάσης κακίας πλήρεις εἰς τοσοῦτο ἐξήρισαν θυμοῦ, ὥστε τοὺς ἐν ὁσίᾳ καὶ ἀμώμῳ προθέσει δουλεύοντας τῷ θεῷ εἰς αἰκίαν περιβαλεῖν, μὴ εἰδότες ὅτι ὁ ὕψιστος ὑπέρμαχος καὶ ὑπερασπιστής ἐστιν τῶν ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει λατρευόντων τῷ παναρέτῳ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ: ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. ἀμήν

Or were Ananias and Azarias and Misael shut up in the fiery furnace by those who worshiped the magnificent and glorious worship of the Most High? By no means may such a thing be! Who then were they who did these things? They were the hateful and the full of all wickedness, who were stirred up to such a pitch of fury as to cast into torment those who served God with a holy and blameless purpose, not knowing that the Most High is the champion and defender of those who worship His all-virtuous name with a pure conscience; to whom be glory unto the ages of ages. Amen.

亞拿尼亞、亞撒利雅和米沙利，豈是被那些以宏大榮耀的敬拜事奉至高者的人關在火窯裡的麼？斷不是這樣！那麼，作這些事的是誰呢？乃是那些可憎、滿了一切惡毒的人，他們被激動到那等狂怒的地步，竟把那些以聖潔無瑕之心志事奉神的人投入酷刑，卻不知道至高者乃是那些以清潔良心敬拜祂滿有美德之名的人的鬥士和護衛；願榮耀歸與祂，直到萬世萬代。阿們。

45:8

οἱ δὲ ὑπομένοντες ἐν πεποιθήσει δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν ἐκληρονόμησαν, ἐπήρθησάν τε καὶ ἔγγραφοι ἐγένοντο ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῷ μνημοσύνῳ αὐτοῦ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων. ἀμήν

But those who endured in confidence inherited glory and honor; they were exalted and were inscribed by God in His memorial unto the ages of ages. Amen.

但那些憑著把握忍耐到底的人，承受了榮耀和尊貴；他們被高舉起來，又被神記在祂的記念冊上，直到萬世萬代。阿們。
